I'm open to hear about a default deployment mechanism that would satisfy
most needs.
Maybe we can define some separate deployment mechanism for the Servlet and
the JAX-WS, or modify the Servlet spec to take JSR-311 into account. I'm
just concerned about putting in the API some features that are specific to
Servlet or JAX-WS views of the world (this would be true if we explicitly
supported Restlet).
Best regards,
Jerome
